So it Begins

The first thing that Lily noticed was the cold, sadly that was also the last thing that she would notice for a while.

Lily stepped out into the corridor of the train. Snowflakes fell from the ceiling all around her. The corridor was already filled with them and beginning to overflow into the open compartments. At that exact moment James Potter was trying to snowboard for the first time. He was failing terribly.

"WATCH OUT" he shouted at the top of his lungs. He was going at an uncontrollable speed of 50 kilometers and hour and everyone in his way was going to be forced to go with him. He had gotten tired of doing it the Muggle way and magicked his board to go at this speed. Now he couldn't control it. The only person that hadn't heeded his warning was Evans. That made her the only person to be hit. James barreled into her and Evans went flying. She had hit her head at a speed of 30 kilometers an hour which was just significant enough to know her into to unconsciousness. She also acted as James's brake, allowing him to stop and seen what he had done. "Oh s" he cussed when he saw what he had done. Of all the people to crash into he had to crash into her. He had told that first year, Diggory, to keep her occupied. She was the only person other then a Slytheran that would actually care that James Potter had crashed into her. That was if she ever woke up.

15 minutes later Lily regained consciousness. Her first thought was who was the guy standing over her. Her second thought, a split second later, was that she was in hell.

James picked Lily up and carried her back to his compartment. He beckoned at the other Marauders to follow him. With the exception of Sirius they all looked like they thought this prank had officially gone bad. They vanished the snow and followed him, wondering exactly what type of trouble he was getting himself into.

"Lily, Lily" James whispered in a soft tone. He had tried cold water, smelling salts, various charms, and every other antidote he could think of. At that moment Evans sat up. "Are you okay?" James asked. "Like you would care," Lily immediately relied on her instincts, Potter couldn't care less and he shouldn't have been doing it in the first place. "Why were you doing that. Your Headboy, you should be setting an example not teaching first years that they can get away with anything. Wait to see what happens when Dumbledore happens. I'm taking 20 points off Gryffindor and giving all of the Marauders a detention." "Well I guess that answers that question," he muttered before he preceded to slip back into his old arrogant self, "Well if you were to go out with me Evans your influence might rub off on me and I'll set a better example." "NO" "Okay then, let me remind you that the term hasn't started yet so you can't take off points. And as for the detention as Headboy I officially revoke it." "Abusing your power already, well I guess two can play at that game." With that final statement she pulled out her wand, hexed Potter, pushed her past the other Marauders who had wisely chosen to wait outside, and stomped back to her compartment.

Padfoot immediately walked into the compartment and cast to spells. One was a charm that made I'm a loser, please walk up and tell on the back of Prongs's robe. The latter on was a counter charm to the hex Evans had just performed. Prongs woke up, checked the back of his robe, performed the counter charm to Padfoot's charm (he had been on the receiving side of these for 6 years by now) and smirked. "Wasn't that a great way to start the year." Prongs said cockily. "Couldn't of thought of a better way myself" replied Padfoot. The three boys went back to the various things that they had been doing before, while Moony left to patrol the corridors to "stop" anyone from creating trouble such as let's say, a snowstorm.

Lily walked back to her friends' compartment and announced what had happened to her. Her final words were, "Abusing his power was the last straw. I want revenge" Aimee was the first to break the silence "So it begins" she said ominously. All three of them burst up laughing. But inside they all knew that Aimee had the right idea, a war between the two best students since, well, Tom Riddle, no one was going to end up un bruised. The question was who was going to be the last witch, or wizard standing?

………………………………...

An hour later the train arrived without anything more significant, then Sirius and James creating another smaller snowstorm in their compartment, happening. Three of the Marauders jumped into the carriage while James stood outside staring at Lily. In turn Lily was staring at the front of her carriage staring at something no one else seemed to notice. She reached her hand up and seemed to touch something invisible, after a while she put her hand down and jumped into her carriage. She wore a puzzled look on her face for the entire time. James stood outside a moment longer and stared at the same thing. "Who?" he whispered. He then turned and jumped into his carriage.

Stand together we stand strong,

Alone we are doomed to fail,

Unite and be one,

And we still might prevail.

The sorting hat finished its grim song. The applause was scattered and few. Most people wondered what had processed the sorting hat after so many years of Voldermort's reign to change it song. Two particular tables were thinking that if uniting was the only way to win they would rather die. The first years were sorted and this time the applause was more thunderous. Afterwards Dumbledore pronounced "There are many words I could say but for now I shall say, Dig in." And dig in they did. Padfoot and Prongs proceeded to have their annual contest, how much food they could eat before they had to stop. After they had made everyone else loose their appetite the food vanished. Several announcements were made such as Quidditch tryouts for the new Gryffindor seeker and to see the Captain, James Potter, for the date. After they finally finished the entire school left for various places.

Some like Aimee and Sarah left to go to sleep. Others like the Marauders left to celebrate their first day at school at Hogsmede. Lily left to plot her sweet, hot revenge. Dumbledore left for the Order of the Phoenix. And Snape left to brew a potion.
